If i understand it correctly you, pawlowa, as an artist have to create a channel, give others the link (maybe put it in your Funkwhale profile) and people using Mastodon can put that username link in their search bar, then their instance fetches it.

I think that's a bit wild because you can have more than one channel on Funkwhale but people seem to be able to only follow one of them. And you have to activate it first before others can follow you.

@schokopflaster@pawlowa Whoops, smol correction: People can of course follow all of your channels, but not all of them by searching for a single username. It seems a channel on Funkwhale is equivalent to a profile on Mastodon, so with a channel you basically create a profile others can follow. Multiple channels mean that people can follow different profiles of you.

@schokopflaster@pawlowa Now that i think about it, i actually like Funkwhale's way of doing this. It acts like some kind of management interface for accounts (profiles / channels). People with multiple Mastodon accounts would propably like something like that too.
